Whitening

Want Whiter Teeth?

How does it work?
We will take impressions of your teeth that will allow for custom trays to be made for your bleaching procedure. The Whitening gel is placed in thin, comfortable trays and fitted over your teeth. As you whiten your teeth, carbamide peroxide is broken down and oxygen enters the enamel and dentin. This bleaches out the discolored areas. The structure of the tooth is not changed. The color of the tooth is simply made lighter.

Is It Safe?
Whitening your teeth, under the supervision of your dentist, has been proven safe in clinical studies over a period of many years. The primary ingredient in Whitening Gel is carbamide peroxide, which has been safely used to brighten the smiles of millions of people worldwide.

When will I see results?
Results are often seen after one night. Optimum natural whiteness usually occurs when the process is continued for a week to 10 days. We will go over what you can expect for your individual situation.

How do I keep my smile white?
After you have the white smile you’ve long desired, it’s important to keep it that way. Practice good oral hygiene and always remember to brush after consuming staining food or beverages. You will need to use your Whitening Trays a night or two about once a year to keep the lighter color.

Patient Safety
The ADA advises patients to consult with their dentists to determine the most appropriate tooth whitening treatment. This is especially important for patients with many fillings, crowns, and extremely dark stains. A thorough oral examination, performed by a licensed dentist, is essential to determine if bleaching is an appropriate course of treatment. The dentist should supervise the use of bleaching agents within the context of a comprehensive, appropriately sequenced treatment plan.
